One more thing to add to this post.
Phillip Morris claims a 14 month shelf life of cigarettes which I would have agreed with a few years ago. I think though PM products now carry around a 6 month shelf life only. I believe the FSC paper, or chemicals held within, are causing a dryer tobacco. If you cigarettes are more than 6 months old from the date stamp you can expect a harsher taste and should consider just returning them while in the store. Don't feel sorry for the store keeper. If they are not lazy they can receive full replacements from PM just by asking. Instead though they don't care about freshness and often sell 2 year old cigarettes to unknowing consumers. With the cost you pay........isn't that just unfair? |
